    Hello everyone,

    I received my Vaio S series now. Popped in a Blu-Ray media, created recovery media.

    After that I removed the HDD and put the OCZ SSD I bought instead. Now I am trying to perform recovery using the recovery media, I always get either error 396 or 333 when it's formatting (2%). What is this? :(


    On a side note, how to access the BIOS menu upon startup?

    Appreciate any help :(
